Tagatesse milk chocolate with tagatose

The only chocolate sweetened only with tagatose, hence without sucrose (white sugar), - perfect for people who can not tolerate maltitol or xylitol, and look for chocolate sweets without sugar.

Since tagatose has about 70% less calories than white sugar, sweetened chocolate is less caloric than regular chocolate. Tagatose sweetened chocolate has naturally sweet taste - thus it is perfect for people who are hypersensitive to the taste of stevia or xylitol in sweets, because chocolate with tagatose taste the same as chocolate with ordinary sugar. At the same time, tagatose is characterized by an extremely low glycemic index IG3 - thanks to this it is suitable for people on a diet that requires constant control of blood sugar levels.

What is tagatose?

The secret of the naturally sweet taste of Damhert chocolates in the use of tagatose - natural sweetener patented in Belgium and obtained from cow's milk (as a result of the synthesis tagatose is free of milk allergens and does not contain milk proteins), a sweetener safe for diabetics because its consumption does not cause a rapid increase of glucose in blood. In chemical terms, tagatose is a simple sugar with 6 carbon bonds and thus a fructose-like structure. The sweetness of tagatose is similar to sugar and amounts to as much as 92% of the sweetness of white table sugar, however, its calorific value is many times lower - which results from the biggest advantage of tagatosis: it is almost not metabolised by the human body. The other big advantage of tagatose compared to polyols (eg xylitol, sorbitol, etc.) is that it does not cause diarrhea or bloating.
